Order Only: Ridley emergency

alt_kingsleyKingsley here, very quickly. Ridley made a break for it, and she got the drop on us, damn her. Flung the contents of a pepper pot right in Emmeline's face just as Emmeline was setting a breakfast tray down in front of her. A fight followed, and now Ridley's cornered in the pantry. A dead-end there, but she has Emmeline's wand, and Emmeline's in there with her. Stunned, we think. Ridley's out of line of sight, and there's only a narrow passage way, so no good way to rush her without risking Emmeline. No one's hurt permanently--yet--but she's yelling threats and demands and getting real twitchy.

Date: 2012-09-03 03:28 pm (UTC)As soon as you can get Emmeline out of there, we'll have to close up that safehouse.
Bugger. Bugger bugger bugger.
What's happening?
Is there any way to get in to the pantry from the rear and take her?

Date: 2012-09-03 03:41 pm (UTC)But if she's talking then perhaps there's a way out without that.
Mordred, perhaps this is Ridley's notion of a friendly chat.

Date: 2012-09-03 04:02 pm (UTC)It's just that you know it kills me, not being able to just Apparate wherever you lot need help. Not without consequences, any road.

Date: 2012-09-03 03:37 pm (UTC)we're holding off for now.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-09-03 03:56 pm (UTC)She gets a wand, bugger all, and she gets out of here in one piece. She says she'll keep our secrets, although I don't trust her any further than I can spit. We'll agree on a mutual safe drop spot for communication.
We get Emmeline back, alive and without any further hurt, and the names of twenty-five of her contacts in the camps in her network. Arthur, we threw her a parchment and quill, and she's writing them down, now. We figure you can check, say, five of them quickly so we know she's not just blowing smoke at us.

Date: 2012-09-03 03:58 pm (UTC)Or would that tip the balance back to a wand-point?
(no subject)
Date: 2012-09-03 04:04 pm (UTC)She says she has a familiar she's been using when no one's been looking.
She just told us to open a window.

right on my fucking head.
moth(no subject)
Date: 2012-09-03 04:09 pm (UTC)she's been using a magpie.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-09-03 03:59 pm (UTC)maybe apparate her far enough away while we clear out so it'll be hard for her to regroup and come back with reinforcements.
she's never seen the outside, right?
(no subject)
Date: 2012-09-03 04:04 pm (UTC)Bugger.
This is a bad bargain.

Date: 2012-09-03 04:08 pm (UTC)Hang on, checking the last two.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-09-03 04:12 pm (UTC)I say go ahead and make the deal. And let us know when you're all safe again and she's gone.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-09-03 03:26 pm (UTC)I know
she's got the upper hand
but damn it all.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-09-03 03:31 pm (UTC)I say take her out and Obliviate her. Blindfold her and Apparate her somewhere else and then leave her to it.
If she's got communications with her old network then she can bloody well find them again.
(no subject)
Date: 2012-09-03 03:38 pm (UTC)but whose to say she hasn't been passing notes just in case we do go that route.

Date: 2012-09-03 03:19 pm (UTC)Once a terrorist always a terrorist. We should have forced her to leave at the last solstice.
What do you need from us, Kingsley?

he's sitting on the ground and he's acting like it's a normal conversation. don't know how he's doing it, but yeah. she's talking back too.
right now they're drawing up lists.
